7:40 a.m. update: Miserable on Hwy. 100, Cedar Avenue

The log jam on southbound Hwy. 100 just keeps growing. Drivers are feeling the effects of a crash at Benton Avenue as far back as Glenwood Avenue. That is 6 miles. Estimated travel time is 21 minutes.

A spinout and crash on northbound Cedar Avenue at 84th Street is adding to the congestion. A rollover crash near County Road 11 has traffic locked up from McAndrews to Cliff Road. Now this. Plan on 17 minutes to reach the Crosstown.

The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.

Two big players in the field of transportation advocacy, outreach, and programming will join forces. Transit for Livable Communities and St. Paul Smart Trips will become one organization starting Jan. 1, officials from both nonprofits announced Wednesday.

The intersection where two Mounds View High School students were killed in a car crash last week will be closed for about 30 minutes Monday afternoon to provide a safe place for people who wish to leave memorials.
